How to Export Social Post Data from Hubspot

Exporting social post performance data from Hubspot helps you analyze results outside the platform, build custom reports, and share insights with your wider team.

This step-by-step guide explains exactly how to export social analytics, what each report includes, and how to use the data for better social media decisions.

Understanding Hubspot social post exports

Before you start, it helps to know what types of social data you can export from Hubspot and how that data is structured.

From the social tool, you can export:

Performance data for all published social posts in a specific timeframe
Metrics for posts on a single network, such as X (Twitter) or LinkedIn
Details including clicks, impressions, interactions, and published dates

Exports are downloaded as CSV files, which you can open in spreadsheets or business intelligence tools.

Accessing the Hubspot social tool

To export social post data, you must first open the social tool in your Hubspot account.

Log in to your Hubspot account with the correct permissions for social reporting.
In the main navigation, go to Marketing > Social.
By default, you will land on the social publishing and performance view where you can filter and export data.

If you do not see the social tool, check that your subscription includes social publishing and reporting features.

Filtering social posts in Hubspot before export

Filtering your view in Hubspot ensures you export exactly the posts and metrics you need.

Use the filters at the top of the social tool to refine your dataset:

Account: Limit results to one or more connected social accounts.
Network: Focus on a specific network such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or X.
Campaign: View posts associated with a particular Hubspot campaign.
Date range: Analyze a set period such as last 7 days, last 30 days, or a custom date range.
Published status: Include published, scheduled, or draft posts depending on your goals.

These filters change which posts appear in the table and therefore which records are included in your export.

Steps to export social post data from Hubspot

Once your filters are set, follow these steps to export the data from Hubspot.

In the social tool, confirm that the table shows the posts you want to analyze.
Locate the Export button in the top-right corner of the social post table.
Click Export to open the export settings panel.
Choose your File format. Typically, CSV is the default and best for reporting tools.
Update the Export name if necessary so you can easily identify the file later.
Review which columns will be included. Depending on your Hubspot subscription, these can include:

Post ID and message text
Network and social account
Publish date and time
Clicks and interactions
Impressions and engagement rate
Campaign and tracking details

Click Export to generate the file.
Hubspot will prepare the export and send you a download link by email or make it available in your notification center.
Download the CSV file and open it with your preferred analytics or spreadsheet tool.

Hubspot social export formats and delivery

Every export from Hubspot follows a standard process that keeps your reporting consistent.

Key points to know:

Exports are typically delivered in CSV format for maximum compatibility.
The export includes one row per social post with metrics in columns.
Larger exports may take longer to process; you will receive a notification when they are ready.
You can run multiple exports with different filters if you need separate reports for different teams or markets.

Always store your exported data securely, especially if it includes performance metrics that your organization treats as sensitive.

Customizing Hubspot social analytics with CSV data

After downloading your CSV file from Hubspot, you can start customizing your reports.

Common next steps include:

Importing the CSV into Excel or Google Sheets for custom charts
Uploading data into BI tools such as Looker Studio or Power BI
Combining multiple exports to compare networks, regions, or campaigns
Creating pivot tables to track trends over time

By working with exported data, you are not limited to the standard dashboards in Hubspot and can build reports tailored to your stakeholders.

Best practices for analyzing Hubspot social exports

To get more value from your exports, consider these best practices:

Standardize naming conventions for campaigns and social accounts in Hubspot so analysis is cleaner.
Document which columns are included in each export and how your team should interpret them.
Schedule recurring exports and reporting cycles, such as weekly or monthly reviews.
Track changes in key metrics like clicks, impressions, and engagement, not just single snapshots.

Having a repeatable process ensures your Hubspot data is consistently actionable.

Common issues with Hubspot social exports

While the export process is straightforward, you may run into a few issues.

No data in the export: Confirm that the date range, account, and network filters in Hubspot actually include live posts.
Missing columns: Check your subscription level and ensure you are exporting from the correct view in the social tool.
File will not open: Make sure your spreadsheet application supports CSV encoding and that the file downloaded completely.
Wrong time zone: Verify the time zone configured in your Hubspot account and adjust reporting in your spreadsheet if needed.

When in doubt, re-run the export with simpler filters to confirm that data is flowing correctly.
